Create a responsive ad unit

Responsive ad units allow you to support a wide range of devices (i.e., computers, phones, tablets, etc.) by automatically adapting their size to fit your page layout. Regardless of which device users use to visit your site, responsive ad units can help you provide a great ad experience.

While our responsive ad units are intended to work with responsive web design pages, they also work on non-responsive sites too. If you're thinking about going multi-screen in the future, you can save yourself time by adding responsive ad units now. Note that to replace your existing ad units with responsive ones, you first need to remove the old ad code and then add the new responsive ad code. For help with building your first multi-screen site, check out our Multi-Screen Starter Guide.
